Hi, it looks like a Dysmachus female to me, and could even be D. hamulatus, but I am not an expert, just guessing! Greetings, Henrik |

It is a female of Dysmachus of the harpax group. Being from the Pyrenees, it is rather unlikely to be hamulatus (but not impossible). I am inclined to think it is D. harpax but being a female it is nearly impossible to be sure from photos (not easy with the specimen in hand either). |

@ PiluCa :-) Why would D. hamulatus be unlikely? Why would it be unlikely to be D. hamulatus? It is after all the most common Dysmachus species in the Pyrénées-Orientales.

I had no idea about this. My only knowledge about D. hamulatus in Pyrenees were only doubtful records. However, D. harpax was well known to be present (and common?) there. My only excuse for this blunder is that it seems I am not updated with this group and being a female I had way too little to work with to provide an ID  |

It is not a blunder  I probably never told you that i have a dozen of harpax from the Pyrenees but about a 50 (or more) of hamulatus. Could be nice present :-)
